Jesus Christ is the same,
Yesterday and today;
Forever to proclaim,
As to trust and obey.
Get not carried away,
By those things that are taught;
Unfamiliar to stray,
From the truth that is sought.
So gaining inner strength,
With the kindness of God;
To persevere the length,
When you honor and laud.
Our strength will not come,
On the rules about food;
Rather it will come from,
A sacred attitude.
The chief priest brought the blood,
Into the holy place;
As it flows like a flood,
And ask God for His grace.
The body of the beast,
Was being burned outside;
For their sin not a feast,
As remorse to abide.
That is why Christ suffered,
Outside the city gates;
That the people offered,
Payment as it translates.
So we must go outside,
Where the insults will pour;
Continue to abide,
And proceed to endure.
No permanent city,
Presently here on earth;
That would be as pretty,
Or having as much worth.
But Christ was sacrificed,
To build a foundation;
And that we are enticed,
Bring us salvation.
